Message to Home Builders
jfggjHE following pages contain a new and exclusive selection of beau-
tiful homes. They are examples of the most modern and efficient
type of home construction. We hope in this large variety of
style, combinations of materials, etc. you will find the home you have
been dreaming of. Valuable suggestions for altering and improving your
present home might also be obtained.
Architects, who are specialists in the small home field, have prepared
a set of plans for each of these designs. They are marked by a thought-
ful consideration both of living comfort and building costs. The blue
print plans and the materials for construction are furnished by us.
We have handy and are only too glad to give information concern-
ing material and labor costs, time of building and ways of financing. We also
have the names of the best contractors, men of advanced constructional
method and fair price, which we will be pleased to put you in touch with.
Of course there is no obligation on your part.
We find quite often that our customers desire some alteration in the
plans. Perhaps there is a change in the arrangement of the rooms or some
special feature to be incorporated. In any case these changes require but
a few days time and are made by competent architects at a small cost.
These homes will have a permanent appeal. There is nothing gaudy
nor ginger-bready about them. They were conservatively selected yet a
wide variety is presented so that one's individual taste may be gratified.
Furthermore, these qualities are important when considering the resale
value of the home.
We can be of very definite service to you in explaining construction
details, costs, etc. Drop in on us, or if more convenient write or tele-
phone and we will make an appointment. It is our greatest pleasure to
serve customers, new and old. May we serve you?

COLONIAL Architecture — steeped in the very

The charm of Colonial Architecture lies in the ten-

innate beauty of line and of architectural compo-

simplicity ever found in it.

A QUIET, restful charm and cheerful hospi-
tality distinguishes the old Dutch Colonial
home.
This type of home has become a model for
all America.
The large living room with fireplace and
plenty of windows, the desirable porches, well
equipped kitchen and the spacious dining room
are usually appreciated. The second floor offers
three comfortable chambers, a well lighted hall,
a well appointed bathroom, and a cozy alcove or

MANY things combine to make this handsome Eng-
lish house a real home. It combines the practical
considerations of stucco construction with the decorative
effect and distinctiveness of the stained wood gable
beams. But the essentials of balance and good propor-
tion exist in the rough structure itself.
A study of the plan will show that it requires a very
small ground area. It would be hard to plan a more
desirable interior. The stairway is convenient to all
rooms of both first and second floor.

DIGNITY and simplicity are the outstand-
ing characteristics of the Colonial type.
Plain walls and roof surfaces, a narrow
moulded cornice, symmetrical openings and
an absence of ornament produce this eflect.
Touches of color are introduced in the
shutters, the stained shingle roof, and the
brick and stucco chimney which is exposed
to view.
Another modern feature that is indispens-
able is the open living porch. Its location is
fortunate from the standpoint of the design
and the comfort of its users.

preferred by many who appreciate its
beautiful lines, its substantial com-

A view of this type of home brings

when the love of home and woman
were the most sacred emotions in the
hearts of men. The environment of
such a home can produce only men
and women of sterling worth.

THERE is a restful charm, a sort of quiet,
well bred dignity unaffected by time or
style, that distinguishes the Old New England
Homes. One of the first steps in the mastery
of self is to know the value of right environment
and influence. It would be a violation of a nat-
ural law if homes of the above class should pro-
duce other than men or women of clean purpose.

A GREAT credit to this nation is the vast amount of home
-i*. building. The knowledge that in this country there are
millions of men who unselfishly spend to their last dollar for
their families raises the standard of all citizens. But stop and
think — it was but a natural law, as old as the age of man, which
they followed. Each was amply repaid for his unselfishness by
the happy wife and the congenial and loving environment of the
contented family.

of infinite expectancy towards days and
years to come, in the course of which life will
unfold the things most worth while. Very

HOMES of this type originated in the New England
states, but they are now found in every city and
village in broad America. The simple lines of the
exterior, while characteristic of this style of design,
are relieved by the symmetrically placed windows
divided into small lights. The swinging blinds pro-
vided for the windows produce an air of individuality
and, together with the classical entrance, aid greatly
in producing this much admired home. The cheerful
interior is complete in all conveniences and appoint-

THE leading architects advocate plain construction, but at the
same time they advocate uniformity and stability of design.
By combining these features with carefully studied arrangement
of doors, windows, porches and roof projection, we produce a
very pleasing bungalow dwelling at an exceptionally low cost.
The entire building expresses strength and individuality.
Much of the beauty and comfort
of your new home depends upon
the way it is built.
Use our practical plans, guaranteed
materials and employ only skilled
labor.

noted at first glance. The interior is composed of a large bright
living room, which opens into the dining room, two well lighted
chambers and a modern appointed kitchen which opens upon the
rear stoop.

ALOW cost home, compactly designed with the
necessary number of rooms required by the family,
is more desirable than one of high cost where there is
space wasted. The material and construction of this
dwelling is the same as that furnished for the most
expensive designs.
The rooms are large, well placed, and have the max-
imum amount of windows. Economy of space and ma-
terial was used in planning this home, to enable us to
offer it at an extremely low price. It is attractive, home-
like, cozy, and is suitable for any climate.
Our personal building plan service
makes it easy for you to build a
home to meet your requirements.
